New York Yankees: Why Cameron Diaz Is Not Good for A-Rod or the Team

If you want to date New York Yankees star third baseman Alex Rodriguez, your resume better read: blond, Hollywood actress, small chest and athletic build.
ย 
When A-Rod started to date Kate Hudson, the rumors were hard to believe Goldieโ€™s daughter would fancy such an insecure womanizer.
ย 
When Hudson showed up at the ballpark in A-Rodโ€™s seats, it confirmed every Yankee fans worst nightmare. Hudson could become an off-the-field distraction for the Yankees best player and that would be seen as unacceptable.
ย 
Closing down the greatest baseball park in 2008, along with missing the playoffs was enough embarrassment in the Bronx already. Yankee fans, along with the NY media, didnโ€™t hide their concern regarding the relationship.
ย 
That sentiment came and went pretty fast, as A-Rod became different and he started to mesh in as part of the team. Smiling and relaxed, A-Rod did his job without the stress and it was contagious in the clubhouse.
ย 
Hudson became a fixture at Yankee Stadium. She came early, stayed through the ninth inning and cheered like a baseball fan. The other Yankee wives loved her as she was photographed with CC, AJ, Damon and Jorgeโ€™s wives having a blast.
ย 
Obviously she was smitten with A-Rod, but baseball is not an easy game to sit through, day after day after day, if you donโ€™t love the game.
ย 
Regardless, A-Rod was at his best and the Yankees won the 2009 World Series. Hudson was beloved in NYC; she did what no one else could by loosening A-Rod up.
ย 
Much to Yankee fans demise, A-Rod wound up dumping Hudson, as it was too much to fast.
ย 
A-Rod is allowed to date whomever he wants, as long as he plays well on the field. It is no secret that A-Rod gets caught up with the ladies and he is an emotional guy, so things have to be good outside of baseball, too.
ย 
That is where Cameron Diaz factors in, as her and A-Rod seem to be back on again.
ย 
In the 2010 season, A-Rod tanked in the postseason and the team choked, getting waxed in the ALCS but the Texas Rangers.
ย 
The months of August and September were not so pretty either, as A-Rod spent time on the DL and his homerun and RBI numbers went down.
ย 
The team felt the affects, as with most clean-up hitters the team follows their hot and cold streaks. This theory is true with A-Rod, as it has been proven that the Yankees are better when he is on.
ย 
Diaz and A-Rod started dating back in July of 2010. The same time that flashes of the old A-Rod were starting to show.
ย 
Diaz was never at a game, unless she came in cameo and sat in the bullpen. Rumor was that A-Rod didnโ€™t invite her to the games, actually he was so hush-hush about Diaz it seemed to stress him out.
ย 
Diaz personality seems very โ€œall-about herselfโ€. She smokes, loves tequila shots and doesnโ€™t want children, as she said they would get in her way.
ย 
A-Rod is not a drinker, he doesnโ€™t smoke and he is a father of two beautiful little girls. Doesnโ€™t sound like much of a match, right?
ย 
Regardless, A-Rod doesnโ€™t have the 2009 twinkle in his eyes anymore. Pictures with Diaz come across as taxing for him.
ย 
A-Rod does like to be around A-list celebrities, and Hudson is way higher on that list than Diaz ever will be so it would seem this is not very serious for the slugger.
ย 
As far as Yankee fans are concerned, Diaz better enjoy these last few weeks with A-Rod. Fact is fact, and if he loved Diaz, like he did Hudson, she would be right by his side in the Bronx.
ย 
Trust me, Diaz might be a star but that wonโ€™t stop the wrath of pissed off Yankee fans, who will blame her for taking the fun out of our best player, again.
